Inuyasha gazed up at the bright blues sky.
He couldn't believe that one of his friends at actually died in the hands of such a weak demon.
But, if it could paralyze both him and Miroku, dodge Sango's hiraikotsu as if it were nothing, and still over power her, was that demon all that weak?
It must have been by the way Inuyasha killed it so easily with his wind scar.
But why did it come after them? It seemed like it was trying to kill Sango.
But why?
Why Sango and not Inuyasha or Miroku?
Inuyasha was so confused.
He looked down at the dirt path ahead of him. It kept going on and on until it finally reached the end of the wood, where it broke free into a large clearing full of long, wild grass.
The same clearing that the ancient well was built on.
Inuyasha stopped and sniffed the air.
He smelled… ripe wild flowers?
'Could it be…' Inuyasha thought.
He stubbornly shook his head.
'No! It couldn't be Kagome! She's stuck in her era. Besides, there are many wild flowers around here. I could just be smelling those,' he thought as he continued towards the clearing.
Inuyasha shook off the thought of Kagome returning.
The well was broken and there was nothing he or she could do about it.
But Kagome's scent was always different.
Not only did it smell like wild flowers, but it had the faint hint of warm vanilla mixed with it.
And that's exactly what Inuyasha smelled.
"Well, couldn't hurt to see," he whispered to himself as he picked up his pace, his heart beat growing steadily faster.
Kagome gasped as she landed on the cold dirt ground.
She felt the sand on her knees, in between her fingers. She heard faint chirping and the soft sound of trees blowing in the wind.
Did it work?
Was she in the feudal era?
Kagome was almost too scared to look up. She was too scared to be disappointed when she looked up, only to see the roof of her family's shrine.
But she looked up, hesitantly.
Kagome's eyes widened.
The back of her throat and her nose tingled as warm tears slowly rolled down her cheek, shattering into a million tinier tears as they hit the sandy ground.
She was there.
After five years of being so far away, she was finally back in the feudal era.
Kagome quickly jumped up, ignoring her tears, and grabbed the vines on the sidewalls of the well.
'Is Inuyasha still here? Would he be waiting for me when I get out of the well? If he isn't, what would I do?' She thought as she pulled her thin body up the rocky wall.
Kagome reached up and felt her hand grab wood.
Almost there.
She wrapped her arms over the side of the wood, and pulled herself up. She threw her legs over the side of the well and fell onto the grassy earth.
"Owie!" She exclaimed, sitting up.
Kagome opened her dark brown eyes and examined the clearing.
Inuyasha wasn't here.
He wasn't anywhere.
Neither was Shippo or Sango or even Miroku.
They were gone.
"They've probably all forgotten me," Kagome whispered as she pulled her legs up to her chest.
Wrapping her arms around her legs for support, Kagome placed her forehead on her knees and sobbed.
"How could they have forgotten me?" She cried.
Suddenly, Kagome heard a small gasp.
It was faint, but loud enough to where Kagome could hear it above her sobs.
Kagome quickly looked up.
"K-Kagome?"
Kagome turned her head and saw Inuyasha.
He didn't appear very different.
His hair was the same as well as his clothes. The only thing different was that he was a bit taller and Kagome could see a bit more maturity in him.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered.
Kagome jumped to her feet and ran after Inuyasha.
Tears were flowing more than ever now.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried as she threw her arms around Inuyasha's waist.
He held him tightly, digging her face in his chest, muffling her loud sobs.
She was with him again, finally, and now nothing was going to break them apart.
Kagome smiled as Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her body, holding her tightly to his body.
"Kagome..." he whispered again.
Kagome looked up at him with tear-filled eyes.
"Inuyasha, I missed you so much!" She exclaimed, staring into his bright golden eyes.
Inuyasha stared at her, speechless.
He caressed her cheek.
Kagome felt a light blush heat up her cheeks.
Inuyasha smiled.
"Where have you been, Kagome?" He whispered.
Kagome subbed and buried her face into Inuyasha's chest again.
Inuyasha placed his head on top of hers, closing his eyes.
"Kagome," he whispered, "I missed you, too."
